*NOTE*

This hack will only check the email domain of the users' email addresses, since it is not really possible to verify each and every email address. If you would like to actually check every one of your users' email addresses, then you'll have to send an email out to them, and see which ones bounce.


[high]DOWNLOAD[/high]

This version of this hack only displays the users that have invalid email addresses. Use this for quickly checking which users have invalid/non-existent/no email addresses, instead of version below.
Download instructions-invalid.txt now!

This version of this hack is the same as the above, but it will display ... valid or ... INVALID when checking your members. It's a good idea to use this if you're not sure if the hack locks up after processing a large number of users (so basically, use this version if you have a large number of users).

Both versions were equally unsuccessful, DNS Error perchance?

Did you get any errors, if so, what did they say? If you didn't get any errors, or if that isn't the problem, then please be a little more specific.

A 404 should not result from this hack. When exactly do you get this?

It would be best for your vBulletin if you ran it on a Linux/Unix instead of Windows, like what you are doing now, it looks like.

You can't use this hack on that particular OS you are using when you got that error, sorry.
